Ok so that's super cool. Anything that they've gone to the trouble of deleting from archive has to be super-threatening to "someone". It is like the ultimate "fact-check" in the modern age; a fact-check gets my attention, but if you can get something deleted something from archive, then you have my instant, full attention.

Yes, especially if you're deleting the whole 30,000 page archive. Robin's been threatened with legal action before but has ignored it. This time they sent the threat to someone able to shut down his site, although he's still hopeful they'll reconsider. He is the Julian Assange of secondhand (already published) sources where he aggregates the information. I agree that the "fact-check" is the liar's tell that you're getting way too close to the truth.
